Bing should buy Reddit and kill Google. This blackout has really revealed how bad Google Is and give reliant it is on Reddit working. Buy Reddit for peanuts, sell Google api access or block them entirely from indexing
I just had this thought. Seems like user generated content is gonna be very valuable from now on, so wouldn’t it be good for companies like Microsoft to foster new websites like Reddit?
If it's perceived as profitable or core to the business, the latter more likely, I would not be surprised if quite a few companies try their hand at a reddit like endeavor. I hold out hope that who ever owns slashdot would add user generated categories and integrate the meta moderation system to keep check on the volunteer mods that it would require...
I really wouldn't see Reddit on killedbygoogle.com.
I would think they would treat it like youtube and allow it to lose money, at least at first, in order to support their core business.
